1900 Obituary [4]
ARTHUR ALBRIGHT, of Mariemont, Birmingham, died suddenly on July 3, 1900, in London, at the residence of his son-in-law, Sir C. C. Scott-Moncrieff, at the age of ninety years. He was the senior partner in the firm of Albright & Wilson, of Oldbury, phosphorus manufacturers.
In former years he took a very active part in the industrial and social affairs in the Birmingham district, but a severe attack of influenza in 1898 necessitated his removal to London, to be near his medical adviser.
He was elected a member of the Iron and Steel Institute in 1875.
